A small city with big personality
Located about 8 miles north of Eugene, Coburg is a small city that embraces its past and celebrates its community. It was founded in the mid-1800s as a lumber town, and many of the original buildings remain, leading to its designation as a National Historic District in the 1980s. “There are architectural requirements to keep a certain vibe in the city, and it’s next to farmland, so it takes you back in time to a slower pace,” says Jodie Smith, the founding broker and president of Jodie Smith Real Estate Company, who’s sold homes in the area for 30 years. The character of the homes extends to its locally owned businesses, which line a stretch of Willamette Road in the town’s walkable center. The overall CAP Crime Index Score here is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
The city’s annual Coburg Antique and Vintage Fair further anchors they city’s love of its past; the popular event brings thousands of visitors to shop for antiques in the community’s central park. Other events throughout the year have more of a neighborly focus, including a free summer concert series. Nearby houses of worship include Christ the King Church and Countryside Christian Fellowship. “Coburg is a vibrant and welcoming community that offers an inviting small-town atmosphere,” says Danielle Philpott, a broker with dC Real Estate who has 10 years of real estate experience. “It’s a place that truly values its heritage, preserving its unique character and charm.”
Residents of Coburg Oregon enjoy walking on the rails to trails that passes by the edge of town.

Early 20th-century and new traditional homes
From turn-of-the-century styles like Queen Anne and Craftsman homes to Craftsman-inspired new traditional houses, the homes here vary in age but keep a similar aesthetic, featuring common details like steeply pitched roofs, front porches and decorative elements like shingle siding and gable trim. Around Norma Pfeiffer Park in the city’s center, homes tend to be older cottages or turn-of-the-century homes surrounded by mature trees. Cottages built before 2010 can cost between $310,000 and $450,000; the larger homes rarely come on the market, and Philpott says they can cost from around $800,000 to $1 million. “People have discovered that Coburg is a great place, so the inventory remains low and it’s competitive,” she says. Along the town’s perimeter, buyers can find new traditional homes with manicured lawns in new subdivisions; these can cost between $530,000 and $1 million.
Colorful, large single-family homes line Coburg town Square.

McKenzie River access at Armitage Park
The nearly 2-acre Norma Pfeiffer Park sits in the community’s center, providing a place for neighbors to hang out and kids to burn off some energy. At the 64-acre Armitage Park to the south, nature lovers can explore the banks of the McKenzie River, and dogs can run around off-leash at the 2-acre dog park. According to Smith, many locals here love river activities, including floating down the river, kayaking and fishing. The 1.6 million-acre Willamette National Forest is around 28 miles away and has nearly 1,700 miles of hiking trails through the Cascade Mountains.
Softball state champions at Sheldon High
Local kids may attend Gilham Elementary, which earns a B-plus from Niche, and the B-rated Cal Young Middle; both are located around 5 miles away. The A-minus-rated Coburg Community Charter School within the community serves kindergarten through Grade 8. “Locals have the choice of having a small elementary school experience that has a country feel for their kids, but it feeds into the Eugene 4J high school system, which is just a few minutes away,” Smith says. “It allows people the connection to Eugene’s well-thought-of school system but also the ability to just dial it back and have a peaceful daily life for the kids.” High schoolers can attend the B-plus-rated Sheldon High, which has over 15 sports teams; the track and field and softball teams both won state championships in 2024.
Sheldon High School is on Willakenzie Rd in the center of the Cal Young neighborhood.
Gilham Elementary is a community school with many committed parent volunteers.

The annual Coburg Antique and Vintage Fair
“Coburg truly shines with its year-round programming that brings the community together and supports local businesses,” Philpott says. The Coburg Antique and Vintage Fair is the community’s largest event, bringing around 20,000 people to browse antiques since 1987. “I’ve only missed it once or twice in 30 years,” Smith says. “It’s always the weekend after Labor Day. They close off streets to car traffic and people set up their booths and come from many different areas to sell a variety of antiques.” In December, Christmas in Coburg includes a holiday lights parade, holiday market and gingerbread house competition. In July and August, neighbors bring folding chairs and blankets to Pavilion Park in the community’s center for Concerts in the Park, a free summer concert series.
At Halloween residents of Coburg love getting fresh pumpkins from Harry's Berries in town.

A walkable community near Interstate 5
While sidewalks here are inconsistent, the community’s low-traffic roads and centrally located commercial district make the area very walkable. “Coburg in general is super walkable, and that’s why a lot of people are drawn to the area,” Philpott says. “Its walkable nature isn’t something that’s super common in the Eugene area.” For drivers, Interstate 5 borders the community’s east, leading 8 miles south to Eugene. The Lane Transit District’s bus stops in Coburg twice a day (except Sundays when there is no service) on its way to and from Eugene. There are dedicated bike lanes on the main roads, Willamette Street, which turns into Coburg Road, and East Pearl Street. PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center RiverBend is about 6 miles south, and Eugene Airport is a roughly 13-mile trip.
Locally owned shops and restaurants on Willamette Street
Most of Coburg’s shops and restaurants can be found along Willamette Street, within walking distance of most homes. Antique stores are common, like The Old Shed and Coburg Antique Malls. Philpott recommends Farmfancy. “They’re a great small business with a full service florist, unique plants and gifts. It’s a great spot to browse around.” Locally owned restaurants like Blue Valley Bistro, a coffee shop serving breakfast and lunch sandwiches, also line Willamette Street. Chiefs Brew House, located in an early 20th-century Italianate home with a large front porch, serves up American comfort food and house-brewed beer, like the Chiefs Grass Seed Lager, made from grass seeds. “Coburg Greenhouse Food Truck Plaza is more than just food trucks,” Philpott says. “It also has an area for musicians to play in the middle, and there’s grass and games set up that are super kid friendly.” Dari Mart is the community’s only grocery store, and Harry’s Berries, a small farm stand just south of town, offers locally grown produce. There are other grocery stores in Eugene, including WinCo Foods and Costco Wholesale.
Chiefs Brewhouse is the most popular restaurant in downtown Coburg Oregon.
